Here Comes Santa Claus

We went to see Santa today! We were the second family in line (we went first thing so we could avoid the long lines). The girls were so excited, and when they saw him, they were speechless. He was the best Santa! He came up to each person in line (even the adults) and wished them a Merry Christmas and stopped to talk to each child. Grace was the only on of my girls brave enough to talk to him (okay, Clara can't talk yet - lol) and Martha turned suddenly shy. I was worried that she wouldn't want to sit on his lap and tell him what she wanted. (I already knew, but this made it official - ha!) She was such a big girl, she sat on his lap and told him she wanted a Dora the Explorer shirt and a baby doll. Grace only wants a Nintedo DS (pink of course) and moonsand. Then later she added a Webkinz.
Clara turned 8 months old this week! The time has really gone by. She is so much fun to watch. She blows bubbles, makes all kinds of noise and is scooting all over the floor. She might crawl sooner than her sisters! Here is our big girl!

Love the pictures! I love that Santa at the mall as well! BTW- Moonsand is a big mess and not as much fun as it looks (if you didnt know).
Clara is so sweet and pretty. Hard to believe that she is 8 months!

I LOVE that picture of Clara! She's such a good, happy baby! Please let me babysit her (and Martha) for you so you can be alone every once in a while!
